1. SCOPE This Plan is applicable to all companies, including client and contractor, and personnel engaged in the upstream oil & gas development industry, especially those companies engaged in EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) projects trained by International Construction Consulting, LLC. This Plan can be utilized by client companies who are looking to develop or joint venture on a project that involves not only an EPC contract but also all of the front end work to achieve the point of contracting for an EPC, including conceptual and system selections, contracting strategies, early design, FEED, etc. This Plan can also be utilized by EPC contractors looking to satisfy world class client expectations and achieve early alignment. While many concepts may be pertinent in part, this Plan is not directly applicable to other potential work areas including: Drilling Production Operations 2. PURPOSE / OBJECTIVE The purpose of this plan is to identify the project management training required to ensure the Client/Contractor s Project Management Team have an understanding of the concepts involved in managing work/projects on small, medium and large upstream projects. The purpose is to provide a framework to continuously improve project management capability and performance consistent with business needs by systematic application of best practices that ultimately provide the following: Better execution performance Less variation in results Single point description of management objective and expectations Clarity of organization roles, responsibilities, and interfaces Vehicle for communication, training and achieving project wide alignment Basis for continuous improvement (common work processes, metrics, and lesson learned process). The objective is to provide the Client s Project Management Team with the tools to ensure they are able to develop and manage any and all work activities engaged on their project and be able to assure that contractors are performing their contracted work activities, in a safe and co-ordinated manner in compliance with their contractual obligations and meet with the requirements of the Client s Project Management System 1 as a minimum. The goal of the plan is not to make people competent project managers, but it is constructed to raise awareness, provide tools, guidance, ideas, and concepts. Additional competency training can be conducted as a follow up exercise. 1 If a Project Management System does not exist, International Construction Consulting, LLC can develop a system and tailor it, based on the principles outline here, for each individual client and their associated needs. 3-8
3. TRAINING DESCRIPTION / PROTOCOL The project management training modules are based on the International Project Management System (IPMS) developed by International Construction Consulting, LLC and represents the product of an initiative that started many years ago and has resulted in a total project management system, that when used in conjunction with International Construction Consulting, LLC s Construction Managers Handbook, as well as the Surveillance Programs provide a complete resource tool for the project and construction management of upstream EPC projects, both domestically and internationally. The IPMS utilizes a phased approach whereby as project is broken down into five major phases: Conceptual FEED Detail Design Execution Start-up and Commissioning Each phase has a set of minimum deliverables that are required and those deliverables are matured throughout the project timeline providing consistency across the project phases. There also exists metrics and a formal process to move from phase to phase thus assuring that each previous phase is matured to the proper level prior to moving into the subsequent phase. The system has been designed to provide a common framework that should be followed for all upstream oil and gas projects. It also includes a mechanism to continuously improve project management capability and achieve performance consistent with business needs by the systematic application of best practices. The sample training matrix provided on page 6 identifies key project management modules relating to the broad scope of project activities and the project personnel required to attend. Most modules are approximately 2 to 4 hours in duration. Some modules, such as Technical Definition or Project Execution are approximately 1 to 2 days in duration (per module). As an additional service, a comprehensive Project Management Manual can be provided that is based upon the project management training modules and ties in all of the processes. 4. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL AND PROGRAMS International Construction Consulting, LLC also has a number of additional programs available to assist in putting together a complete project management program, including the following: Construction Manager s Handbook o Construction Planning o Execution Planning Engineering Surveillance Program (includes Project Quality Plan) o Engineering Assessment Plan Procurement Surveillance Program (includes Project Quality Plan) o Procurement Assessment Plan Construction Surveillance Program (includes Project Quality Plan) o Construction Assessment Plan 4-8
Training and follow up is available for all of the above Plans & Programs. Used in conjunction with the project management training, the above programs and their associated process can be used as a comprehensive roadmap to fully managing integrated upstream oil & gas projects from the conceptual stage through to start-up and commissioning. 5-8
